[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 314402, member: 10650"] I have an adult orchid female and lately she has started circling her enclosure. She will do a circle crawling upside down on the screen then stop to look at the female shield mantis next door (cages are about 2 inches apart), do some arm movements then continue on her slow circuit. Sometimes she will also stop to look at the H. membranacea female that is about a foot and a half away. She will do this for a up to half an hour at a time. What is she doing? Do I need to put her in a larger enclosure? (She is currently in an 8x8x12 Exo Terra.) Or maybe take her out more? (Can mantises get bored or depressed?) Is she looking for a mate perhaps? I do know where I can get an adult male but he's a bit pricey. [/QUOTE]
